[Q] Identifying a song's influences
« on: January 24, 2016, 05:40:29 pm »
Hi guys

I'm still really inspired by this song called The Only Way Is Up by Martin Garrix & Tiësto. It's simply an amazing 128 BPM four-on-the-floor dance track.
However I strongly feel there are influences from other genres close. I'm talking about the sound design in the drop more specifically. The timbre it gives really gives me this strong feeling it's influenced from something else than House. Maybe trance, I don't know...

What do you thinking guys? Should I dig into the old trance music?

Cheers!

There might be a bit of Tiesto's old style. His Kaleidoscope album comes to mind.
